Six-leaded packages allow individual colour control of each colour chip to display a multitude of colours (including white) and enhanced thermal management.

Avago Technologies has a new family of compact high-brightness tricolour surface mount LEDs for indoor and outdoor full colour signs and video displays The PLCC-6 packaged ASMT-YTB0 LEDs provide full colour display and video application designers with better colour control and contrast, and a 115-degree viewing angle

With dimensions of 4.4 x 4.4 x 3.5mm, this new family of LEDs from Avago also incorporates silicone material to extend light output performance over time.

Avago's compact ASMT-YTB0 package is specially designed to meet indoor and outdoor LED screen requirements for better screen resolution (greater than 12mm pixel size), and high-brightness performance.

It also has six leads to enable individual colour control of each colour chip to display a multitude of colours (including white) and enhanced thermal management.

The ASMT-YTB0 incorporates a separate heat path for each LED die to enable it to be driven at higher currents.

As a result, these SMT LEDs can operate in a wide range of environmental conditions to provide customers with high reliability.

These new tricolour LEDs are ideal for use in indoor and outdoor video screens, advertising displays and stadium scoreboards.

The family of ASMT-YTB0 LEDs are compatible with reflow soldering processes and have a moisture sensitivity level of 2a (MSL 2a) to make them ideal for use in SMT production environments.
